      I have to confess I was still morbidly curious about this so here are some more preliminary research results research result the first: everybody hated working at/on Google Peoplehttps://twitter.com/qntm/status/1170471690574467073 …

      OK so if you remember this thread you may also remember that Google People doesn't show up in the Google Graveyard apparently (according to a Googler) the reason for that is because the project never "died", because internally it was never considered to be "alive" (cont.) https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1164301933949128709 …

      apparently the project went through a ridiculous number of directors (10+)

      my conjecture is that after a while they started moving people sideways onto the project as a like a constructive way to force them to quit

      (I say that because it looks like a lot of these senior folks just quit tech entirely right after and don't show up again)

          I mean you've got to have an office in Greenland you can transfer people to, figuratively speaking, right? I'm just kidding Greenland owns. Anyway I'm just hypothesising

          the current director (yes there is one) did not respond to direct emails which I suspect may just be due to me being marked as spam (I am not internal to Google, meh

          and the response was TETCHY. dismissive. I would say crabby almost to the point of being unprofessional and unfortunately that's it

          "go away" in almost as many words. (or possibly "get away", I mean it depends how you interpret it) also very poor typography for a higher-up. rushed

          ugh the animated pics are some style transfer bullshit that isn't ready for prime-time, if you ask me they look like one person's face texture-mapped onto someone else's skull. or like something's crawling under the skin. like it doesn't fit right

          I wanted to see the gif they interpolated for me but my profile pic's static, just smiling and greyed-out? My posts stopped a while back too after the predictive text apparently went haywire for a few hours, posting nonsense. Maybe their model just gave up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          this thread and the others inside it are so wild! I gave in & set up a Google People account a few months after it launched, when I was stuck at home with the flu. I was delirious and all I remember for sure is telling multiple people that being on there was “making me sicker”?? https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1182443390429995009 …
